Open Data Anti-Hero

Hello, I'm Ash. I work at the University of Southampton, in the Web and Data Innovation team, but I used to be a Computer Science researcher.

I like making things, solving problems and general hackery. I define general hackery as making something technical do something it's not designed to do. I also rather like 'retro' video games, Doctor Who and gardening. I collect 1980s Transformers and I maintain the largest marble run in the University. My favourite game console is the Dreamcast.

This is my blog. It's whimsical, and absolutely nothing to do with work. If you want a slightly more professional side to me, please see the Open Data Blog.
